Hei Guys,
I believe that many of you may don't like the default browser that comes with the honor 6 and its limitations. For that, I came to you with a new way that would be a good help for you to modify the app and just about any other you would not like app in the devise:
1- Download the the the app that you like to choose as your default browser from the store.
2- Go to settings.
3- Manage apps.
4- All tap.
5- Scroll down and press on "Browser"
6- Disable the default browser.
7- Now, try to enter any website name on any note: for example: go to Google Keep: the website name, and press on the link: open.
8- Choose the browser you like and click: Always
9- Now you have changed the default browser my friend.
The same way could work for the other default apps that are locked to be not " clear defaults" from the app info.
Hope that I helped
Hi, useful tip, thank you.
By the way, do you know of a way to use another launcher like Nova launcher for instance.

Thanx m8, you saved my day.
Useful tip !! Thanks Mate!! :good: :good: :good: :good:
I found on EMUI 3.0 (B370 on an L04) it won't change at all even with defaults cleared.
You have to go to settings > Manage Apps and at the bottom is a button for default apps. Set the launcher etc in there and it works fine after that. I don't have browser in there though and it doesn't have the clear defaults button in the application so I am stuck with it as default it seems.

Lets say I wanna change the icon shortcut link to Handcent instead of the default Messanger, theres gotta be a way to change it. Hopefully without rooting.
No way to change them. This feature and app menu options where removed from the epic.

I'd call that a workaround rather than a solution: I'm hoping for a solution via root or some other hack. Maybe it'll be as simple as editing a text file?
Quoted from the thread you said didn't have the solution. This might work for the other buttons as well, if you clear the defaults in said applications. That is done under the Settings > Applications, find the app and hit the "Clear Defaults" button.
Just download Handcent. When you hit the messaging icon at the bottom it will ask you if you want to use the stock app or Handcent (then you can check - remember this choice). Now whenever you hit the SMS icon (it will still appear to be the same...). It will open Handcent.

I'd call that a solution if it also changes the launcher icons to whatever application you're setting as the default. Does it work that way?

The 'Default Messenger' is not listed under Manage Applications, there is one for Handcent but that only makes it the default if you go through your contacts and select the 'text' option.
Otherwise it doesn't change the default launcher icon to open handcent and it doesn't change the logo.
Thats the one thing that is crappy with sprint is how they default their stuff and hard lock you in on it, same with the market place. They must have 3 different versions of the 'Sprint Marketplace' that has the same stuff as regular market place.
They also changed the Downloads section you click in Market to the name of 'Sprint', its like "wtf are they thinking" and it just lists a couple of average free apps under it that are already available.
This is stuff that I hope can be changed without rooting in the future, but it looks like the roms might be the saviour of this phone. SCHEIZA!!!!
It's "sprint's recommended" downloads. Yes, it's annoying, but it's better than locking you out of a ton of apps like other companies.
Hi,
I would like to change the default dialer program on my Samsung Note 3 which is rooted and installed with Xpose. I am sorry but I am new to Android and not sure how to get this done. I haven't installed any custom ROM's at the moment but thought there would have been a way to make the default dialer program. Although I tried installing many programs like "Contacts+", "RocketDialer" and others, none of them show up in the "Complete Action Using" Menu. Only the Samsung default dialer is presented.
Yes I have reset cache for all the Apps and tried the same too.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your revert but only options I am getting are 3 apps, Kaspersky Av, Skype and touchwiz phone. I have already tried clearing the app for Phone as well as reset all apps.
Also downloaded "default app " from play store but no go. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I think there's either something wrong with your Xposed configurations, or you might have to try a full wipe.

Have you tried disabling all Xposed modules and eliminating all possible problems?
Well the short answer based on your setup is that touchwiz will not let you change dialers. You can download them from play store but it will only be for you to call out with. If you get in coming phone calls it must be handled by touchwiz dialer.
I've been trying to get an AOSP dialer to run but no joy. I've deleted all phone apk files I've deleted all contact apk files all that happens is I loose connectivity with cell providers.
Enough googling and it seems touchwiz must have its own dialer for incoming connections.
I'll keep trying tho, never know.
Not much help I know but at least it's an answer of a sort.

For sure you can set the default SMS apps though, I have set them many times, but I use 8sms right now as it is to me the best alternative to BiteSMS on the iPhone 4 (during the old days haha!)

In regards to incoming calls, I used rocket dialer and was able to see their screen. Touchwiz wasn't invoked. But when trying to make outgoing calls, although rocket dialer is invoked for call logs and contacts, as soon as I hit the call button, touchwiz is invoked.
I guess the option then is to use custom roms which I dint want to install.
This trick is not revealed by me!!!!!All thanks goes to @Rana Fahad Khan. This is his trick!!!!! I am just sharing it.
How To Change AOSP Keyboard's Theme In Realtime
If you use AOSP Android keyboard, which is also available in the Play Store, you can change the look and feel of the keyboard.
It has few built-in themes, but they're not available in the settings.
How to do ?
OK let's continue
1. First, you need an application that lets you create shortcuts to app activities. For example: Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher, so install any from these two.
2. Long press on home screen and pick "shortcuts" and then "activities".
3. Scroll down to the Google Keyboard entry, expand the list and pick "Android keyboard debug settings"
4. Create a shortcut for this activity. Now tap the new shortcut.

Recently, I enable Google Assistant for my non rooted Note5 device even though my location is in the Philippines. Here's how:
1. DOWNLOAD latest Google Apps BETA
2. DOWNLOAD latest Google Play Services BETA
3. DOWNLOAD any fake gps apps
4. DOWNLOAD any free VPN apps
Go to phone settings then apps manager then open Google Play Services, select storage then manage storage then clear data
Open freeVPN (mine is tunnel bear) then direct to USA
Open fake GPS (mine is flygps) then set your location to USA (i chose Los Angeles)
Again go to phone settings then apps manager then open Google Apps, select storage then manage storage then clear data.
After performing the above, long press your home button, then you will see Google Assistant which guide you to set.
Good luck and enjoy!???

The idea is very good but no root is not useful. In addition, there is no desired menu. It's on your photo, but I've installed apps and it's not there!

You need to configure the buttons you want. It is all done from within the app. Please don't claim something does not work if you never even looked at the settings.
